Product Description
Storyboards: Motion in Art, Second Edition, is a comprehensive look at both the art and the business of storyboarding. This practical handbook details the preparation and presentation of storyboards for live action, commercials, animation, and special effects. The author clearly delineates the requirements of live action and animation boards as well as presentation and production boards. He explains how to use computers in enhancing, creating and animating boards, and stresses the importance of visual storytelling and effectively showing movement over the artistry in the board itself.
Unique features include: exercises to help the reader translate scripts and concepts into boards; samples from top storyboard artists and a section where five artists interpret the same scene for comparison purposes; an entire section is devoted to the business aspects and how to get started as a storyboard artist; resources, forms, resumes, portfolios, the tools and tricks of the trade, and interviews with directors, producers and other storyboard artists.

 Storyboards: Motion in Art, Third Edition January 12, 2007
I enjoyed much of the information that was given in the book. It was helpful to see the type of renderings were being done and to see how other professionals have been able to accomplish given tasks.

First of all, since my work is represented in the book, this could be seen as a biased review. It is not though. What Mark has put together for the 3rd Edition is so diverse and advanced, and in such great quantity, that a comparison to his previous book isn't really fair. Full color printing, samples of art at all stages from scribble to digital rendering, and a wide variety of artists' styles with a fair amount of work from each really make this the most comprehensive book available on the subject. There isn't an area of application I can think of that isn't addressed. I was taken aback by the size of this edition, and very pleased to see all the effort that went into it. This book has a dual focus of art technique and business that stays on message throughout, just like Mark does. It's a great book.

I've never seen a book that covers half of what this book covers on storyboards. I had no idea there was this much to doing storyboards. The new 3rd edition is also beautiful with tons of great sample art.
Plus, the information is well written and easy to understand. I've been struggling to find an easy way to color my digital boards and this book quickly showed me how.
You won't believe how big this book is. I can't believe it costs less than the last edition, and this one is in full color. I've always been interested in storyboarding, and now I feel it's something I can tackle.
This is my new bible on storyboarding.
A wonderful recource! November 10, 2006

I was impressed by the amount of information they were able to cram into this book. I don't think that there was one aspect of storyboarding that was left out. It covers the techniques, tools, and methods artistically as well as how to approach it from a business stand point. This book has an overwhelming amount of examples(most of which are full color) of storyboard panels, useable forms, and reference. The recource section is invaluable to anyone in the field. It covers literally every aspect that I had a question about. I highly recommend this book!
The best storyboard book has gotten better! October 27, 2006

I thought Mark's second edition storyboard book was a great resource for every aspect of the storyboarding business, but the third edition is even more complete at 400+ pages and has hundreds of storyboard examples. The examples are instructional as well as an opportunity to appreciate really great art from numerous talented artists.
Plus in the 3rd edition there is lots of instruction on how to draw and color storyboards. No other storyboard book comes close to what this book offers.
